[Snort-inline-users] snort_inline segfault

[sebastian <rei...@fh...>]

hi, 
after a weekend trying to get snort_inline to work (finally it works now :) i 
stumbled across a problem which took me a lot of time to figure out because 
of a not existent error message, maybe in the next version???
here it comes:

i used snort without the database plugin and without the -i <iface> parameter 
which worked well. after that i tried to use the database output plugin and 
it segfaults without giving me any reason.
as the problem only occurs if the database plugin is enabled, i think the 
problem resides in src/output-plugins/spo_database.c in line 350. if i omit 
the -i parameter PRINT_INTERFACE(pv.interface) returns NULL.

sth. like that would be nice:
if (PRINT_INTERFACE(pv.interface) == NULL) {
	fprintf(stderr, "ERROR: please specify parameter -i <iface>\n");
	exit(1);
}
